Can you produce LED fixtures with specific parameters? Do you support OEM/ODM customization?

Yes. Compare2Best connects you with 90,000+ verified LED lighting SKUs searchable by CCT (2200K–6500K), CRI (80–97 Ra), IP rating (IP20–IP69K), wattage (3W–2000W), lumens, beam angle, and certifications. For OEM (your design, our manufacturing) and ODM (our design, your brand), see our OEM vs ODM Comparison — MOQ from 50 units (ODM) or 500 units (OEM), tooling costs $2,000–15,000, lead time 15–90 days depending on complexity.

Do your products have the certifications required for my target market (CE, RoHS, UL, ETL, DLC, SASO)?

Yes — our listed factories hold certifications across all major markets. North America: UL 1598, ETL, DLC Premium V6.0, Energy Star, FCC, Title 24. Europe: CE, ENEC, RoHS, EN 12464-1, EN 13201. Middle East: SASO (Saudi Arabia), ESMA (UAE). Asia-Pacific: BIS/ISI (India), KC (Korea). Eurasia: EAC (Russia/CIS). Every certification claim is independently verifiable — see our Certification Comparison Guide. Certificates available on request before order.

How do you control product quality? Do you provide samples? What is your defect rate?

Quality control is multi-layered: (1) Incoming component inspection (LED chips, drivers, aluminum housings), (2) In-line testing at each production stage, (3) 100% final burn-in test (minimum 2 hours), (4) Random batch sampling per AQL 2.5 standard. Samples available within 7–10 days (courier cost covered by buyer, refundable against bulk order). Industry-typical defect rate for LED fixtures is <0.5%; our verified factories average <0.3%. See our Factory Verification Guide.

What are your bulk pricing, MOQ, and payment terms?

FOB pricing across 89,722 products visible on our platform: pendants from $5, high bays from $55, flood lights from $30. Volume discounts at 100/1,000/10,000 units — see our Volume Discount Guide. MOQ from 50 units for ODM, 500 for OEM. Payment terms: 30% deposit T/T, 70% before shipment (or L/C at sight for orders >$50,000). Flexible for established buyers — net 30 available after 3 successful orders. Get factory-direct quotes within 24h via Wholesale RFQ.

What is your production lead time and monthly capacity? Can you deliver large orders on time?

Standard lead time: 15–30 days from order confirmation (depends on order size and customization). OEM orders with new tooling: 45–90 days. Factory monthly capacity varies by size — typical mid-size factory: 50,000–200,000 units/month. Large factory: 500,000+ units/month. Rush orders negotiable (premium applies). Compare2Best vets factory capacity claims against actual export records. Browse factories by capacity at LED Manufacturer Directory.

What packaging do you provide for safe transport? Which ports do you ship from?

Standard export packaging: individual polyfoam + color box, master carton (5-layer corrugated, drop-test certified), palletized with shrink wrap. Optional upgrades: wooden crate for fragile items (pendants/chandeliers), reinforced corners for heavy fixtures (high bay/flood), moisture barrier for sea freight. Primary ports: Shenzhen (Yantian/Shekou), Guangzhou (Nansha), Ningbo, Shanghai. FOB, CIF, DDP terms available. Mixed container supported. See Shipping & Logistics for HS code classification and freight estimates.

What is your warranty period? How do you handle after-sales issues?

Standard warranty: 3–5 years (varies by product category and factory). Premium products with brand drivers (Mean Well, Philips, Osram): 5–7 years. Warranty covers driver failure, LED chip degradation beyond L70 threshold, and manufacturing defects. After-sales process: photo/video diagnosis → replacement parts shipped within 48h (or full unit replacement for critical failures). Dedicated English-speaking account manager assigned to each buyer. See LED Warranty Reality Guide for what Chinese factories actually deliver vs promise.
